Ergonomics and functionality
DTF Rifleworks SHORTY 's proprietaryHeavy Duty Handguard (HDH) bed, made of 6061-T6 aluminum, provides a large mounting surface for accessories such as a foregrip, flashlight or bipod, without increasing the carbine's girth. The slim profile of the bed allows you to hold the weapon comfortably and securely, and the reinforcement around the barrel nut guarantees a rigid connection to the breech chamber. The SOPMOD-type flask with an internal compartment for spare CR123 cells and the B5 Systems P23 grip provide comfort and increase the functionality of the carbine.
Durability and reliability in all conditions
The lock and slide coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) are characterized by extreme wear resistance and low coefficient of friction, which translates into reliable operation even in harsh conditions such as dusty or freezing weather. In addition, the use of an H2 buffer and a flat wire return spring makes the carbine work perfectly with suppressors, reducing the amount of gas discharged toward the shooter's face.
